Haha!

Some tiny encouraging signs this morning at work. Means nothing in the bigger picture but made me smile.


Our Director of Economic Research (worth noting that I work for a $280bn asset manager) is voting Labour as he can't stand the thought of a one party nation and a girl who is the under 30s Conservative representative for her constituency, is voting against the party and voting Labour (reasons: sick of not being listened to in the party, tuition fees, national security).

Do not know much about her. Never heard of her until the Silvester Road issue.

Seems an approachable pleasant person.


I would vote for her on a Local basis but despite being a Labour supporter all my life

and a former paid up member of the Dulwich branch of the Labour Party, I cannot bring

myself to vote for Labour with Jeromy Corbyn at the helm.


Corbyn is a conceited , self opinionated arse who refuses to listen to the views of others.

I would think he must be a very difficult person to work with.

I have similar views about Corbyn Foxy. However; my view is that there's no way Labour will get a majority and the best we can hope for is a hung parliament, which may well mean a coalition involving some very competent MPs that may be able to exert influence.

lets nuke ourselves and do the world a favour.


You utter coward Corbyn, give us a straight answer on this - would you nuke the country and ease our suffering ? its what the people want. They have spoken.


Nuclear winter means nuclear winter, A red white and blue self inflicted Armageddon. let us be clear on this.

Right let's get some outcome predictions in.


Being long in the tooth, seen all this before, I'm going for a Tory majority of somewhere between 40 and 60, despite all the usual bluster and talk of some massive Labour revival. Youngsters won't turn out in large enough numbers, the blue rinse brigade will turn out and revert to form, forgetting about the 'dementia tax' stuff.


Anyone who wants to find out what's really going on, take a look at any of the major betting sites.

Obviously I do, people who place bets are prepared to put their money where their mouth is, it's not about a bunch of pollsters making predictions from tiny samples with great margins of error.


Louisa.

Each of you middle class lefties and keyboard warriors should put your money where your mouth is. I'm particularly talking about those of you who over the last few days have been whipping yourselves into something resembling teenage schoolboy arousal about the 'closing' of the gap in the polls.

It's more getting rid of May I think - The NYT says what fits with many peoples view - that May is quite horrible.

Indeed. Odds follow the money, not the chances of something happening. When punters piled money into a Clinton victory, the odds shortened. I remember the Tyson-Bruno fight in Vegas back in the pre-internet days. Bruno's odds in the UK were ridiculously short, while all the Bruno fans going to Vegas for the fight waited till they got there to put their money on him at ? justifiably ? much longer odds.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
